• BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes - May 10, 1989 Page 4. Riverbend - (cont.) There was discussion that the owner could go to the Design Review Committee for sign and landscaping approvals and could appear before the Board of Selectmen for a special permit for a sign on Town property. Mr. Hanrahan reminded the Board that their decision was concerned only with the action of the Building Inspector in issuing a violation notice. Ms. Hawver moved to deny the Petition without prejudice. Mr. Makunas seconded. All agreed. James Kerrigan, Nancy Kerrigan, James Curtis, Jane Curtis - (Advisement from April 12, 1989 meeting) Members sitting: C. Hawver, M. Makunas, R. Halpern Mr. Kerrigan, Ernest Virgilio - Director of Public Works and Douglas Boyd - Building Inspector, had been invited to discuss improvements to Goodspeed Meetinghouse Road. • Mr. Hanrahan announced that the Board had received a report from F. Thomas Fudala, Town Planner. He suggested Board take time to read it. Mr. Halpern commented that he felt uncomfortable making any judgments without more time to study the report. The report had been received at 4 P.M. on May 10, 1989. Mr. Makunas asked if there was any new information to be presented at this hearing without considering Mr. Fudala's report this evening. Mr. Virgilio stated that he was under the impression that the Town owned certain portions of Goodspeed Meetinghouse Road. He has now learned that Town does not own land and he cannot become involved in any construction or improvement. He also said he had received Mr. Fudala's memo and would have no comment on it. He said that he would refer such a plan to the Planning Board or Town Engineer and the only involvement of the DPW would be with curb cuts. Mr. Halpern reviewed the Variance request which was under 7.6. He was of the opinion that Lettie Lane met the requirements of the by-law. Mr. Makunas discussed the earlier hearing when there was discussion of improving and grading Goodspeed Meetinghouse Road. Mr. Kerrigan replied that the road could have been improved for less • than he had anticipated. He had felt road could be improved and said Mr. Virgilio had mentioned that he had seen a plan with a 15' layout of the road. Mr. Virgilio again commented that he would not be involved with .anything that was not Town property.
